Yep, Ted Nugent Is Still A D*ck

It’s the anniversary of the Sandy Hook tragedy and most would look at the event as a somber reminder of how fragile life can be. Unless you’re Ted Nugent and you want to use the anniversary to further your NRA backed agenda. From his piece titled “Don’t let those kids die in vain” on WND:

The Sandy Hook massacre was not the first mass shooting in the world, and it won’t be the last. Fortunately, the likelihood that you or your child will be part of such a massacre is extremely remote. Even so, that is no reason not to be prepared. If we fail to be better prepared to stop the next mass murderer, then those precious little 20 children and their six teachers and faculty members at Sandy Hook Elementary died for nothing.

The first lesson we should take away from the Sandy Hook massacre is that the self-inflicted scourge of political correctness has dumbed down America enough to allow the conditions to continue to exist that will facilitate another twisted individual capable of doing the same thing to flounder about our society. In fact, it already happened at the Washington Naval Yard. It is going to happen again. And again.

The only way to stop a madman with a gun is a good guy or two with guns. Nothing else will work.

Now I don’t know if this solution would work or if it’s just compounding an issue. There have been studies to the contrary in the past, but the definitive proof isn’t there, hence the debate. The portion I find deplorable is the proximity to the Newtown anniversary. The entire article is nothing but the same NRA talking points we heard last year and just rings false, especially in the wake of yet another incident Friday.

I’m far from the camp that thinks we shouldn’t talk about gun control in conjunction with the massacre, but I also feel some tact is in order out of respect for the families. I felt the same way last year as people were shouting from both sides hours after the shootings.

Sandy Hook is the perfect example to use for why our views on security and gun control need to change in one way or the other, but the timing just doesn’t sit well with me. Where is talk like this at every other point of the year? It certainly isn’t something we should just talk about in the wake or anniversary of a tragedy.

That said, Ted Nugent is an ass and nowhere near my first choice as mouthpiece for a call. I’d rather have an inanimate carbon rod.

“Now I don’t know if this solution would work or if it’s just compounding an issue.”

Please tell me you are kidding me and you haven’t actually considered something so silly. The simple fact is that nothing can stop random shootings because they are random . Even if you catch 9 out of 10 someone will always get through sooner or later

And shootings are not even the main problem. They are just another hook that politicians are trying to use to distract from the real problems. Namely gun violence in general. Where things can actually be done to vastly improve the safety of the people. But nobody is adressing this issues everybody is oh my god random shooting nothing will work let me present my dumbass plans

As far as I can tell, most of these mass shootings are caused by angry white kids who have easy access to lots of guns. I understand that making it harder to get guns won’t stop criminals and gang members from getting their hands on them, but they aren’t really the problem when it comes to large groups of innocent people being blown away. Whats his face with the clown hair or the autistic kid that shot up the school wouldn’t have the first clue where to buy a gun illegally, so if nothing else, it would remove that option from them.

It is a sign of the fractured and disassociated society in which we live where jaded people criticize others for promoting their agenda when espousing their beliefs while they themselves promote their own agenda through villianization and pseudo intellectual ridicule of these opposing views. At a time where instant worldwide communication is the norm, we still do not know how to actually communicate with one another.

Somehow this is still far more tactful than that soldier in that video that went viral who’s speaking at a town hall or something and essentially says your dead children are a small price to pay as long as i can keep my guns.

We should be arming our children. But only the good kids. The bad kids don’t get guns. In fact, they don’t get forks either. Someone take their forks before they threaten one of the good kids who shoots him in self defense…..How do I know which ones not to give guns to? The black ones. Duh.

For a while back in the 90’s, I was convinced that ol’ Ted was just trolling for some publicity – ensuring that his fervent hick followers didn’t forget his name during the 12 minutes of ‘classic rock’ radio when one of his songs wasn’t playing…

But he’s clearly a person with mental challenges. Which might explain one of the reasons he’s so adamantly against background checks for gun sales.

Don’t agree with Nugent on most things. But at a loss how in the case of Fort Hood and the Naval Yard there were no armed people in a military installation. And further on 9/11 trained pilots did not have firearms. Having lost a dear friend and several neighbors that day, that made no sense.

Nobody loves Ted more than Ted himself, but he’s right and the NRA is right. Schools are ground zero for gun control and look how well that worked out, even after Colorado passed new laws in the state earlier this year. A gun free zone is a free fire zone.
